Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. April 4, 2014. The Escalator/Elevator Survival Guide. If there are two things that are pretty much guaranteed to make anybody’s blood boil on a daily basis, they are as follows: 1) Escalators. 2. Elevators. More specifically, it’s the lack of consistent etiquette that accompanies them. I won’t lie, I’ve unintentionally been the culprit in many of these scenarios, and it’s likely induced much wrath and many a stink eye! The same rules apply to travelators — a ...

Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. March 31, 2014. Living with a Doomie. All of this changed in September, when I started living with Chadwick Van Der Woodsen (name has been changed to protect privacy). I’m here to tell you that living with a platonic dude roomie — henceforth known as the doomie — is pretty much the best living situation EVER. Here are just a few reasons why…. Do you know how many shits a guy gives about decor? No Bruce Lee posters for us! Sure, I might clean more often than my doom...

Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. Daily Archives: March 28, 2014. March 28, 2014. Ask anyone, and they’ll probably find it’s pretty easy to rhyme off a list of Canadian stereotypes. And AREN’T THEY ALL HILARIOUS. Sure, a lot of us love hockey. And Tim Hortons. And some of us even live in igloos! But the majority of these clichés are total. Bullshit. For example: NOBODY SAYS “ABOOT”! That being said, there are some general observations of Canadians that tend to be true across the board…. Canadian: &...

Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. Daily Archives: March 24, 2014. March 24, 2014. Discovering Your Dream Job. The average person will work for about forty years before they’re eligible for retirement. Yay! I landed in option three. In high school, I thought I wanted to be a lawyer. A corporate lawyer, to be exact. Doesn’t that sound fancy? I probably should have known that social work wasn’t what I TRULY wanted to do when I got my acceptance letter in the mail and cried. Alas, I moved to ...Just to...

Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. Daily Archives: March 29, 2014. March 29, 2014. The Three Circles of Automatic Dispenser Hell. I love a sterile bathroom as much as the next person. When automatic dispensers were introduced into public arenas, I was just as thankful as anyone else to not have to touch anymore germ-infested faucet handles before getting back to eating my nachos. The paper towel dispenser must be good friends with the soap dispenser. It doesn’t just require patience, it de...Living ...

Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. Monthly Archives: March 2014. March 31, 2014. Big City, Little City. After eight years of living in the same city, I’ve finally decided that it’s time for me to move somewhere new. There are definitely some pros and cons of living in a bigger city, but here are a few things I am most looking forward to:. And we won’t fall off the edge of the earth? I’m not sure I’ve ever gone out in Halifax without seeing somebody I know, went to school with, or cross p...I love me...

Rants, Raves and Rambles of a Tiny Cog. March 6, 2014. I recently read a delightful article that reassured Canadians there would be a “slow start to spring”. This is just what I wanted to hear, as the final months of winter are my favourite time of the year! Here are five reasons why this is entirely untrue:. More importantly, WHEN will it melt? I’m almost entirely positive it’s going to take a little help from our friend, GLOBAL WARMING. Is there such a thing called the tree of death? 8221; …asked...
